Child's plate

A child's plate that includes a food bowl (10) which is supported by a surrounding raised rim (1) whose upper edge-part (3) connects with the upper rim-part (11) of the bowl (10) and whose bottom edge-part (2) defines a support surface (4) on which the rim rests on a flat support surface around its full perimeter, wherein the raised rim (11) is intended to support the bowl (10) above the flat support surface, wherein the raised rim (1) is inclined outwardly and downwardly from its upper edge to its lower edge (2), wherein the inner wall surface of the bowl (10) and the outer wall surface of the raised rim (1) define a downwardly divergent angle (β) of at least 20°, and wherein the plate is characterised in that the bottom edge-part (2) of the raised rim (1) is comprised of a friction-enhancing element (5) which extends around the rim periphery and counteracts displacement of the plate (1) on a flat support surface on which the plate rests;

• and in that the inner wall surface (12) of the bowl has in the vicinity of the free edge of the bowl wall a surface part (15) against which the thumb of an adult is able to apply a perpendicular force at a distance (t) of at least 2 cm above the bottom edge of the raised rim (1).
